On the Saturday, 13th June, the City of Perth Band held their 2009 Quiz Night. 15 tables competed for victory in a 10 round struggle of amusing questions, trials and tribulations! Congratulations to Shane's winning table. The night was extremely successful, and we look forward to making this an annual event.
Thank you to all our sponsors; without your help, we could not have made the night such a success.
